Rainy - I hope bubs improves soon.
Meg - happy birthday for tomorrow - 33 ur a spring chicken!! I'm a few months off 39! - Make the most of 33!!
Ali - :hug: sorry to hear things have been the way they have.
AJP - Woot!! on the hair and eyebrows
Ops forgotton what else was said.... sorry :(
AFM - I'm saying screw it to the no money coming in and I'm going to get my hair done next thursday. I've told DH he's got bubs for 2hrs while I'm in - I'll feed Alex up before i go.. this will be my first 'outting' without Alex, although DH will be doing hotlaps of the town where we live.... haven't had my hair cut since january and I'm feeling feral!!
Alex just watched a Destiny child DVD and slept through the pink one! Awwww.. he's just like his mum, could sleep through a cyclone!
Tarkine- Good on you for taking some much deserved me time!!! You'll love getting your hair done, I bet you'll feel like a new woman
AJP- How's the do??? Did you get a drastic change??
Rainforest- Not so much a hillbilly now, but grew up in Selby my parents live opposite the Sherbrooke Forest, so yes feel quite at home in the hills, altough still sort of in the hills now... Where are you??
Shell- It's so nice watching our kids interact isn't it... We just heard DD talking to L through the baby monitor, saying "oh my little darling boy, you are so cute mister"...What a great mummy she will make one day.
Ali- I went back to work when DD was 6 months old and too had time limits for expressing not so much because work didn't allow time but due to nature of the job....I must admit.. Even though I only worked 2 days per week, I would express every morning off one side a feed her the other so I would build up a supply that way, at work I owuld only express once and yes pressure is hard but i found if I used relaxation techniques and a photo of DD I could express in about 20 mins and get about 180mls. I would then feed her as soon as I got home and express the other side again. I then found the next day I would put her on every 2 hours to build my supply back up...Seems like a while ago and I must admit have not done it with L at all, coz not going back to work until next year with him....I fed DD until she was 13months old and expressed at work, she didn't have one formula bottle, not because I was against it but because I didn't want my work to interfere with my breastfeeding and it didn't, yes it was a little more work but so is cleaning and sterelising bottles..Good Luck with it...Feel free to ask anything else.
Also Glad DP apologised...
AFM- Going to bed Had a nice relaxing bath with DD and have finally had a chance to shave my legs....It was either shave them or start brushing them!!!:redface:
Spent some time in the garden today...was so nice to get out in the fresh air. L been great hoping we have another good night.
NightNight'
:birthday2: happy birthday meg!! have a fab day!!
pinny same as last time, shorter and darker!! yay on brushcutting the hairy legs!!
so cute of miss A!!
tarkine enjoy the hairdressers!! i like sitting and having a coffee and actually drinking it hot!
ARM miss M starts swimming lessons next saturday!!! im off to the osteo this morning then were car shopping!!
Happy Birthday Meg!!! Enjoy your day...
AJP- A new car!!! how fantastic.....What type do you think you'll get???? Miss M will love the swimming lessons, can you coordinate it to be the same time as S's lesson???
Happy birthday meggie!!!
pinny they'll actually be in the same class for a while, til sophie can go in by herself!!
we are looking at a toyota kluger!! DH needs to make some calls on monday
Tarkine- you go girl. You def deserve it. Hope you are happy with it.
Meggie- Happy Birthday!!!! :hooray:
Jols- the klugers are very nice!!! How exciting! Love that sisterly love.
Pinny- Thank you for your advice re the going back to work/feeding thing. That gives me lots of hope. I started a thread on it and have gotten some good advice as well. I shaved my legs the other day too. Such a luxury! :)
Shell- that is so sweetabout your girls. I can see why that would make you so happy to see your babies loving each other so much. When I see Nai's profile pic I think the same thing. It is very sweet. I never really appreciated my sisters growing up but now that we are grown up, our bond is so strong. My mum also tells me stories about when I was a baby how my older sis would look after me like her own child, even used to talk for me (I was a very late talker because of this)!
Kaz & Heaven- How are things with you girls? Havent seen you girls in here for awhile :hug:
Nai- You'll have to give us the hot tips on swimming when you go back to be an instructor.
:hello: to everyone else.
Had a busy day today. Met up with Jenjorja for coffee this morning and then went to a lunch for DP's winter cricket team. Got to leave a bit early as DD was a bit grizzly. Trying to feed her lots today but she isnt very interested :dunno: Last night was okay. Still woke at 11, 1:30, 3,30, 6:30 and then went back to sleep until 9:30!! So she kind of missed her morning sleep as normally she has that at 9am until 10:30am. Have so much housework to do but cant be bothered. I did some washing this morning. At least thats something. :)
Happy Birthday Meg!!!
I'd sing but... well I really need my windows in one piece :rofl:
AJP - ohh those kruger's look lovely.. we are stuck with my ford falcon that is starting to sound like an old taxi (you know makes loads of squeeky noises). I love my car!
Ali - glad to hear that you got to meet up with someone for coffee. Winter cricket? Wow that's pretty hard core!
AFM- went for another walk down the main street and bought some Aldi nappies to try out. I put mittens on Alex and he had them off in half a block and was stuffing them in his mouth (good thing they were big mittens).. put them back on and 1/4 block later they were off and the fist was in his mouth, so they stayed off all together! And that was my highlight for the day - tragic case! Fell in love with a part of the town I hadn't walked through - has the old 1940's bungalows in it and they remind me of home (Adelaide).. sigh.. just have to win lotto to buy one.
Hi girls, just a quick one - feels like I've been gone for AGES!!! Have had two lots of houseguests and been out and about every day since last weekend. :o Having a stay-at-home tracky-dak day today before another big day tomorrow. We're actually leaving town tomorrow :leap: which will be awesome.
Happy birthday for yesterday Meg!!!
Looking good Pinny!!
I've read through everything but can now hear Jacob waking up! Hope you're all having a good weekend girls! :grouphug:
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. Had a shocker last night. Ever since the vax she has been bad.
Anyway I am sick of whinging about it on this thread as I am sure that you are all sick of hearing about it, so I am going to start a new thread for people to come join me for a whinge about babies not sleeping through!
We have our vacs booked for tomor morn so not looking forward after all the bad nights afterwards that have been occuring in here. Might be panadol given tomor bedtime.
Watching master chef so will do personals tomor!
Meg- I look out for the thread!! I'll be joinging!!! Please don't worry about the whinging, that's what we are here for!! And to be honest it makes me feel so much better to know I am not the only one with a baby still waking in the night!!!
Shell- I have just finished watching it too!!! I loved it, but glad to have my nights back!!! Good Luck with the Vacs!!!
Hey girls
whoot finally get to type on here- boof is zzzz next to me on the couch- but at least he is asleep- been going to sleep between 12am and 2am each nite!!! so getting nothing done till then- i am stuffed- even by my standards lol- he happy enough when he is awake- just not ready to go to sleep till late- wonder where he gets that from????
other than that- everything going well- boof is growing heaps- he is too big for his capsule now and i was going to put him in the carseat rearfacing as well, but I tried him in it at home and his feet are allready longer than the car seat- so it looks like it will have to be forward facing for mr boof. He is just about sitting up on his own unassisted anyway , and i reckon he is over 10kg in weight- so i reckon we will just put him forward facing- what do you guys think?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN!!!! Hope you enjoy the day and get totally spoilt rotten. !!
boof was fine after his 4month vacc - gotta do his 6 month vacs in two week- great! so hopefully he is fine with them as well.
My migranes are still driving me crazy as well- damm hormones- surely to god them would have settled by now!!!! As soon as he increases or decreases his feed, even for one day- its enough to upset my hormones and a couple of days later i get a migrane.
life has been really hetic lately- between playing parent to my parents, supporting them emotionally and general busy life/paperwork/work- i feel like i am being pulled in so many different directions. Life is just at such a fast pace at the moment, i feel like i am on a rollercoaster. Even my poor nan from Cairns had to have an operation on herback on tuesday so that has been worrying me, and on the same day my mum had to have her shoulder frozen fixed as well- so the two most inflential women in my life were both getting done on the same day- how much positive energy can i send out to the universe at once???My poor little man just gets taken around from pillar to post and never complains or misbehaves- he is such a little champ- just goes with everything thank goodness and sleeps anyway and everywhere! LOL he slept at the rollerskaing rink the other day for an hour- music blaring and lights flashing lol.
Gotta go into work on thurs as well and make sure everything is on track just to add more to my plate- pile it up! pile it up!!!
ok enough whinging for me! Havent got time to feel sorry for myself- too much to do lol
sorry for the selfish vent girls!
take care and mwah to all you beautiful girls!!
Meg - :hug: - I'll keep my eyes out for the post.. sweetie don't worry about whinging here.. gosh Knows I've done my fair share.
Det :hug: :hug: sending you loads of positive support vibes and cyber hugs.. Don't forget to take some time out for yourself.
Kaz - like the idea of getting out of town.. woot! love the idea of the tracky dak days.
AFM - Spent most of today out and about. Al was a trooper, cracked it at BILs house and had slept through lunch, but took me 5hrs to settle him to the point where he would go into his cot tonight. He clung onto the boob while I climbed into bed next to him (I missed my afternoon nap - LOL). Was watching the Evil dead movies.. gosh I love Bruce Campbell!!
Ohh and I'm back on facebook - reluctantly - I'm such an old fart!
Megie- :hug: Dont feel like you are whinging. I do it all the time and if I couldnt vent in here I probably would be one very stresed out mumma but I will look out for your other thread. I will probably be a frequent poster there as DD just hasnt got the night thing worked out.
Det- Massive :comfort: for you and :hug: Sounds like a bit of a tough time you are going through. Hope your loved ones will be okay. Your little man sounds like such a lovely little soul. I love the way you talk about him as well. You can see there is alot of love. :)
Shell- How good was masterchef! Couldnt believe our power went out in our street at 7am and then I missed the first hour of the show! So glad Julie won though. We had massive probs after vax but panadol didnt work the first night so I didnt bother with it again. Just lots of milk.
Kaz- Hope you had a good day today and have fun getting out of town. Hopefully to somewhere warmer? Although there arent many warm places at the moment are there!
Pinny- I forgot to tell you that I love your Avvy! Look gorgeous! :)
Tarkine- Have you tried out your aldi nappies yet? I am interested to see what you think of them. That is funny about Al eating his mittens. Everything seems to be in their mouths now hey. How did you go getting your hair done?
Have a question for you girls....Do any of your little ones play with their feet yet?? DD doesnt and I was wondering if I should encourage her to find them or whether she will just do it on her own? :dunno:
AFM- Busy busy week coming up. Hopefully I will have time to post in here, if not I will be lurking and thinking of you all :)
Ali - hairdresser next thursday - Alex wasn't interested in his feet, until I started flicking him in the face with his feet during a nappy change, now every nappy change he kicks his feet up.
The aldi nappies seem a bit bulkier at the front, but didn't seem too bad - but then Alex doesn't wee thru his nappies - its the number 2's that he has issues with.. I'm using the Aldi ones to space out the huggies at the mo..
Love the photo next to your signature - she's adorable.. I want a cuddle!!
hi girls
meg- i'll come and join you in the non-sleeping thread. jimmy wakes constantly. if he sleeps from 12pm-3am then we consider that a good night.
pinny-nice av. we live in kalorama, so on the other side of the mountain to your parents.
ali- we're big fans of aldi nappies here. i think they're fantastic.
det- do they have to be a certain age before you turn the car-seat around? i can't remember LOL
well i might go look for that non-sleeping thread now!
